HelloPharmacist Scorecard of CLK With Slimpro Technology Raspberry Flavored Softgels by Cellucor

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Stimulant Free Toning Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,014 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 4 active ingredients. L-carnitine tartrate is an amino acid that helps your body transport fatty acids into cells for energy production.

Razberi-K raspberry ketones are compounds from red raspberries. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a fatty acid found in dairy and beef.

The product also contains a proprietary blend called Stimulant Free Toning Blend and Slimpro Protein Hydrolysates — broken-down proteins intended to support muscle tone. The softgels themselves are made from gelatin, glycerin, and several food colorings and thickeners.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: fat loss and body toning support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Athletic performance, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, L-carnitine deficiency — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: L-carnitine is rated "Effective" for L-carnitine deficiency (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: L-carnitine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Athletic performance, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, and more.
  • Also on file: Raspberry Ketone is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Obesity.

The evidence we have is strongest for L-carnitine in treating L-carnitine deficiency — that's rated Effective. For other uses, the data is weaker: L-carnitine is rated Possibly Effective for high cholesterol, heart failure, and angina, but don't expect the same confidence you'd get from proven treatments.

For raspberry ketones, the evidence on obesity and hair loss (alopecia areata) is too thin to rate — we don't have enough reliable data to know if it works. No effectiveness ratings are on file for Conjugated Linoleic Acid or Slimpro Protein Hydrolysates.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient L-carnitine Raspberry Ketone

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

L-carnitine is generally well tolerated at typical doses, though high doses can cause stomach upset, diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, and a distinctive fishy body odor. Serious side effects like seizures are rare.

Raspberry ketones, structurally similar to the stimulant synephrine, may cause heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, and shakiness — the human safety data is very limited because most use comes from food, not supplements at high doses. Safety data on L-carnitine during breastfeeding is limited; caution is advised.

For raspberry ketones, the safety information during pregnancy and breastfeeding is too sparse — avoid it during those times.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient L-carnitine Raspberry Ketone

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — L-carnitine, Raspberry Ketone.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 191 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check before you take this product if you're on blood thinners like warfarin or acenocoumarol — L-carnitine and raspberry ketones can both affect how they work. If you take thyroid hormone replacement, L-carnitine may reduce its effectiveness.

Stimulant drugs are a concern with raspberry ketones because they can raise the risk of heart problems.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Consider this product if you're interested in L-carnitine for deficiency or possibly for heart or cholesterol support, and you don't take blood thinners, thyroid medication, or stimulants. If you do take any of those, or if you have heart disease, talk with your pharmacist first — the interactions and stimulant-like effects matter.

Run your medications through the checker on this page before you start.

Razberi-K Raspberry Ketones2 drug types · 174 drugs

Stimulant Drugs

Theoretically, raspberry ketone might increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects with stimulant drugs.
Structurally, raspberry ketone resembles synephrine, a known stimulant agent. Heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, coronary vasospasm, pulseless electrical activity arrest, and resistant polymorphic ventricular tachycardia have been reported in patients taking raspberry ketone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, raspberry ketone might increase warfarin dose requirements.
In one case report, a patient taking warfarin 55 mg per week had a decrease in INR over a period of one month while taking raspberry ketone 250 mg daily. A warfarin dose increase to 70 mg per week was necessary to maintain a therapeutic INR while taking raspberry ketone. The mechanism for this potential interaction is not known.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Razberi-K Raspberry Ketones full monograph & interactions

L-Carnitine Tartrate3 drug types · 19 drugs

Acenocoumarol (Sintrom)

Theoretically, L-carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of acenocoumarol.
L-carnitine might enhance the anticoagulant effects of acenocoumarol, an oral anticoagulant similar to warfarin, but shorter-acting. There are at least two case reports of INR elevation with concomitant use. In one case, a 33-year-old male with a previously stable INR had an elevated INR of 4.65 after L-carnitine was started and continued for 10 weeks. INR normalized after discontinuation of the L-carnitine-containing product.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Thyroid Hormone

Theoretically, L-carnitine might decrease the effectiveness of thyroid hormone replacement.
L-carnitine appears to act as a peripheral thyroid hormone antagonist by inhibiting entry of thyroid hormone into the nucleus of cells. Taking L-carnitine also seems to diminish some of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, L-carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
L-carnitine might increase the anticoagulant effects of acenocoumarol, a shorter-acting oral anticoagulant similar to warfarin. There is not enough information to know whether this interaction occurs with L-carnitine and warfarin.

CLK With Slimpro Technology Raspberry Flavored Softgels by Cellucor: Common Questions

Does CLK With Slimpro Technology Raspberry Flavored Softgels by Cellucor interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, CLK With Slimpro Technology Raspberry Flavored Softgels has a known interaction with 191 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
CLK With Slimpro Technology Raspberry Flavored Softgels contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
Not without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. Both L-carnitine and raspberry ketones in this product can affect warfarin — one may increase its blood-thinning effects (raising bleeding risk), and the other may reduce it (requiring a dose adjustment). Your anticoagulation needs to stay stable, so you need professional guidance.
What are the most common side effects I might notice?
From L-carnitine, mainly stomach upset — nausea, diarrhea, heartburn, or abdominal cramps. Some people report a fishy body odor. Raspberry ketones, though less studied, may cause heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, or shakiness, especially at higher doses.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data isn't there for either. For raspberry ketones, we have too little information — avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. For L-carnitine, there's limited safety data on breastfeeding, so caution is advised. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Does this actually work for weight loss?
The evidence on raspberry ketones for obesity is too weak for us to say. L-carnitine is Possibly Effective for high cholesterol, but the data on these ingredients together for weight loss specifically isn't established in our records — don't expect guaranteed results.
Is this safe if I have heart problems?
Raspberry ketones resemble a stimulant and have been linked to heart palpitations and dangerous arrhythmias in case reports. If you have heart disease, talk with your cardiologist before using this product.
